Overview
- Caden Moss announced a verbal commitment to Ohio State on June 26 after reaching his decision earlier in the week and revealing it on Instagram Live.
- He chose the Buckeyes over finalists that included Ole Miss, Kentucky, LSU, Oregon and Tennessee, with recruiting analysts noting a late momentum swing to Ohio State.
- Scouts list Moss at about 6-foot-4.5 to 6-foot-5 and roughly 320–330 pounds, rank him as a top-100 national prospect, and project him primarily as an offensive tackle with interior versatility.
- Coaches Tyler Bowen and Ryan Day were key to Moss's choice as he cited Ohio State's development, culture and NFL track record, and his pledge pushed the Buckeyes' 2027 class into the top five in national rankings.
- The commitment is verbal only, so the near-term milestone is holding Moss through the early signing window in December which will determine whether the recruit joins the class officially.
